Deadline for MLA members to apply is end of day July 3. *Note: you have to sign into MLAnet to see the application form.

MLA has a new resource available to support health sciences librarians who are interested in pursuing research and evidenced-based librarianship: The Librarian Research Guide. Created by a team of librarians from across the association, this guide includes websites, software, books, and journal articles on a variety of research-related topics, such as study design, data collection, data analyses, and dissemination. It also includes research resources intended for specific audiences, such as hospital librarians, new librarians or library students, and solo or corporate librarians.
